Football - squad information - footer

Hello Rich, I've seen you have edited this template back in the days. Could you check it for me as I don't feel comfortable yet to edit templates. At the template page this |} and below it the "Source citation needed" seems wrong. And could you edit it so the source gets displayed like the following (with space)?

with space "Source: Realmadrid.com" --> This seems to be a workaround I found but should not be necessary (s= Realmadrid.com)

without space "Source:Realmadrid.com" (current display I'd like to improve)

Countless other templates get displayed with space, like this one

Source: La Liga

On a sidenote: A lot of these templates found at Fb templates have some weird symbols and errors in them. Could be worth a check either. Regards Goalgetter9 (talk) 14:06, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Sry just saw that you've been blocked. I guess you can't edit this then but maybe you know someone who can. Goalgetter9 (talk) 15:20, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Goalgetter9 the "|}" closes the table that is opened by {{Fb si header}}. You won't see this in articles. If you provide {{Fb si footer}} with a source: e.g. {{Fb si footer|s=Jimmy at the Three Lions}} then it will cite the source:-

|}

• Source: Jimmy at the Three Lions

It will only display "[Citation needed]" if no source is provided.

To use a space after the colon insert a space - that should present no dangers (if it doesn't work use ' ').

All the best: Rich Farmbrough 19:39, 1 September 2021 (UTC).

Hi, UnitedStatesian. Please don't bother notifying me of empty album-by-artist category speedies. If all the albums have been deleted, they serve no purpose and can be deleted at will. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 11:22, 21 September 2021 (UTC).
